NEW QUESTION 26
Which 2 statements describe the appropriate application of Agile Project Management when developing the Prioritised Requirements List during Feasibility?

Details of which areas will require seeding in order to become lawn, and which are to become planted borders, should be captured.

The re-laying of the driveway and a landscaping solution should be listed as Must Have requirements.

The scope of the project should be agreed before moving into the Foundations phase.

The responsibility for setting the priority of each of the requirements identified should be assigned to the Project Manager.

Regulatory obligations associated with the redevelopment of Hoy Hall should be recorded as Must Have requirements.

NEW QUESTION 27
Using the project timeline given in the Project Scenario, answer the following question about application of Timeboxing on the Hoy Hall project.
Lines 1 to 5 in the table below consist of an assertion statement and a reason statement. For each line identify the appropriate option, from options A to E, that applies.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.

Assertion :
1. All internal works to be assigned to Timber Tigers throughout the project should be consolidated into one Structured Timebox.
BECAUSE
The Investigation step within each Structured Timebox requires everyone working within the team to jointly agree how the requirements of the Timebox will be met.
2. Acceptance criteria for the front rooms to be developed in Timebox A should be described in detail and agreed during the Timebox Kick-Off BECAUSE The aim of the Investigation step within each Timebox is to complete as much of the development work as possible.
3. It is appropriate that both the Evolutionary Development phase and Deployment phase are shown in the first Project Increment.
BECAUSE
Each Timebox should comprise an Evolutionary Development phase and
Deployment phase.
4. It is appropriate that the outputs of Timebox C are scheduled for deployment at the end of the first Project Increment.
BECAUSE
A typical Timebox Plan should provide a schedule of high-level activities for the imminent Project Increment.
5. It is appropriate that Earth Excavations create a detailed plan of activities they will complete during Timebox C.
Reason
BECAUSE
The Solution Development Team is responsible for planning the detail of all the work of each Timebox.

Explanation:
For each line, here is the appropriate option from A to E that applies:
* All internal works to be assigned to Timber Tigers throughout the project should be consolidated into one Structured Timebox.
* E. False (Assertion) False (Reason)
* Rationale: It is not practical or in line with Agile principles to consolidate all internal works into one Structured Timebox, as the work will likely need to be spread over multiple Timeboxes.
Additionally, the Investigation step involves agreeing on how to meet the requirements of the Timebox, not necessarily consolidating all work into one.
* Acceptance criteria for the front rooms to be developed in Timebox A should be described in detail and agreed during the Timebox Kick-Off
* B. True (Assertion) True (Reason) BUT the reason does not explain the assertion
* Rationale: While it is true that acceptance criteria should be agreed upon during the Timebox Kick-Off, the reason given is incorrect because the aim of the Investigation step is not necessarily to complete as much development work as possible but to plan and understand the work that will be carried out.
* It is appropriate that both the Evolutionary Development phase and Deployment phase are shown in the first Project Increment.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: Each Timebox should indeed include both Evolutionary Development and a Deployment phase. This assertion and reason correctly align with the concept of Timeboxing in Agile.
* It is appropriate that the outputs of Timebox C are scheduled for deployment at the end of the first Project Increment.
* A. True (Assertion) True (Reason) AND the reason explains the assertion
* Rationale: The typical Timebox Plan does provide a schedule of high-level activities for the imminent Project Increment, which would include planning for deployment.
* It is appropriate that Earth Excavations create a detailed plan of activities they will complete during Timebox C.
* C. True (Assertion) False (Reason)
* Rationale: While it is true that Earth Excavations should create a detailed plan for their activities in Timebox C, the reason is incorrect as the Solution Development Team is not solely responsible for planning all work details within a Timebox. This task would typically be a collaborative effort involving all relevant parties.

NEW QUESTION 28
What action should the Project Manager take regarding the remaining windows?

All requirements that have not been met are automatically carried over to the next increment.

Extend the time allocated to Timebox C, to allow time to complete these.

Insist that all available resources within the Solution Development Team are redirected to this work over the remaining two days.

Decompose the individual elements of work to be completed on the windows and reprioritise them to meet the Minimum Usable Subset.

NEW QUESTION 29
Using the Project Scenario answer the following question about the technical quality of the solution to be delivered. An assessment of the maintenance requirement for the new reservation system was made during Feasibility.
Column 1 describes a list of different types of hotel reservation systems considered. Column 2 lists the three DSDM maintainability objectives. For each description in Column 1, select from Column 2 the maintainability objective it would support.
Each selection from Column 2 can be used once, more than once or not at all.
Column 1:
1. Off-the-shelf software with ready-to-use templates that will need to be customised to fully meet Hoy Hall requirements, after deployment.
2. Developing a fully functioning in-house system, developed and hosted by Architecture Angels IT Operations team.
3. All-in-one web-based reservation and accommodation management system built to Hoy Hall’s specification.
4. All bookings for Hoy Hall to be scheduled by one of the other two hotels within the group, until a suitable system can be implemented at the site.
5. A spreadsheet is used to capture customer details manually. Data will then be exported into a fully functional system at a later date.
Column 2
* Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Deliver first, re-engineer later
* Short-term, tactical solution

Explanation:
For each of the descriptions in Column 1, the maintainability objective from Column 2 that each would support is as follows:
* Off-the-shelf software with ready-to-use templates that will need to be customised to fully meet Hoy Hall requirements, after deployment.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: Customizing off-the-shelf software indicates a need for the solution to be maintainable from the onset to allow for these adjustments.
* Developing a fully functioning in-house system, developed and hosted by Architecture Angels IT Operations team.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: In-house developed systems need to be maintainable to facilitate future changes and enhancements by the team that created them.
* All-in-one web-based reservation and accommodation management system built to Hoy Hall’s specification.
* A. Maintainability is a required attribute of the initial delivered solution
* Rationale: A system built to specific requirements will require the ability to maintain and adjust the system as needs evolve, making maintainability a key initial attribute.
* All bookings for Hoy Hall to be scheduled by one of the other two hotels within the group, until a suitable system can be implemented at the site.
* C. Short-term, tactical solution
* Rationale: This is clearly a temporary measure until a proper system is in place, indicative of a tactical solution to address immediate needs.
* A spreadsheet is used to capture customer details manually. Data will then be exported into a fully functional system at a later date.
* C. Short-term, tactical solution
* Rationale: Using a spreadsheet is a stop-gap solution to manage information in the short term, emphasizing the tactical nature rather than long-term maintainability.
Option B is not selected for any of the descriptions as none of them imply an approach of delivering first with the intention to re-engineer later. They all suggest a need for immediate maintainability or a short-term fix, not a re-engineering approach.

NEW QUESTION 30
Answer the following questions about the acceptance criteria within the project.
Decide whether the approach to setting and using acceptance criteria has been applied appropriately and select the response that supports your decision.
The objective of Solution Development Timebox B is to ensure that the front and east wings are finished and approved. The Project Manager has pointed out that acceptance criteria for this part of the solution need to be agreed.
Is this an appropriate action related to acceptance criteria?

Yes, because this will allow the Solution Development Team to focus on the quality of the Solution Development Timebox’s deliverable as a whole, in order to keep focus on the business need.

Yes, because it will be easier to set acceptance criteria for the Solution Development Timebox as a whole, rather than setting specific acceptance criteria for each individual requirement.

No, because the acceptance criteria for the Solution Development Timebox are just the amalgamation of the individual requirements’ acceptance criteria, with nothing extra.

No, because the Solution Development Timebox objective will change if any new requirements emerge or any lower priority requirements are de-scoped.

NEW QUESTION 31
